Essential role for HSP40 in asexual replication and thermotolerance of malaria parasites

2024-11-05

Abstract excerpt

Plasmodium falciparum, the parasite responsible for nearly all cases of severe malaria, must survive challenging environments to persist in its human host. Symptomatic malaria is characterized by periodic fevers corresponding to the 48-hour asexual reproduction of P. falciparum in red blood cells. As a result, P. falciparum has evolved a diverse collection of heat shock proteins to mitigate the stresses induced...
